    Tifajek Mud Pool & Hot Spring

    February 17 in Fiji ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Close to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant was the other highlight of my day tour, the Tifajek Mud Pool and Hot Spring, also known as the Sabeto Mud Pool and Hot Spring; Sabeto is the name of the area, while Tifajek is the initials for the owner of the land and her six children.

    At the entrance, a local guide named Moni took me under his wing and showed me the area, starting with the source spring with its 80C water, and then to the mud pool itself, and then the other two pools. Water from the source pool is piped to these three pools and maintained at 40C.

    At the mud pool were two buckets of mud that were extracted earlier from the pool. There, I was instructed to slater myself with the mud and wait for it to dry before dipping myself in the mud pool. Once clean of mud, I could then go to the other two pools.

    I really enjoyed my visit to this site. It was fun and refreshing and it did wonders to stave off the fatigue and jetlag.    Read more
